Death of Daniel Webster Akeley
D.W. Akeley died at the Home for Incurables at Chicago, the 20th instant. He had been sick in his old home in Clarendon for over three years without a single pain.He was born in Vermont and was one of nine children of whom only one survives. He leaves a wife and four sons; Lewis of the State University of South Dakota; Carl Akeley of the Museum at Chicago;Ward B., of Chicago, and Thomas H. of Waukegan. His funeral was conducted by Dr. Pulsford of the Unitarian Church, and he was buried at Oak Woods Cemetery, Chicago, by the wish of his family, who were all present with him at the last, except the son in Africa and who deeply feel his love.∼THE HOLLEY STANDARD Thursday July 21,1892,p.1 Struck by Lightning
[] During the thunder storm of last Friday night barns of Webb Akeley of Clarendon were struck by lightning and burned with most of their contents. So rapidly did the fire spread that Mr. Akeley, who was in the house only a short distance away at the time, only had time to get out his horses. A cow, pig, carriage and a number of farm implements were burned, also about fourteen tons of new hay. The buildings were insured for $200 which will not cover the loss. The loss on the contents amounts to between $500 and $600 and is about covered by insurance. Mr. Akeley himself had a somewhat narrow escape as he had been in the barn milking only a few minutes before it was struck
